Reconstitution of the lactate carrier from rat skeletal-muscle sarcolemma.

ABSTRACT: The lactate carrier was solubilized from purified rat skeletal-muscle sarcolemma with the detergent decanoyl-N-methyl-glucamide and the solubilized carrier was reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles. Reconstituted proteoliposomes showed a faster time course of L-lactate uptake than did protein-free liposomes. The rate of L-lactate uptake into the proteoliposomes was inhibited by the lactate-transport inhibitors p-chloromercuribenzenesulphonate, diethyl pyrocarbonate, alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamate and quercetin. In contrast, the anion-exchange inhibitor DIDS (4,4'-di-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonate) had almost no effect on the uptake. The extent of L-lactate uptake at equilibrium was not affected by the presence of the transport inhibitors, but was sensitive to osmotic strength. L-Lactate and pyruvate, but not D-lactate, inhibited L-lactate uptake when present at 10-fold excess. The properties of L-lactate transport in reconstituted proteoliposomes were similar to those observed in native sarcolemmal vesicles, i.e. the lactate carrier seems to retain its transport characteristics during the solubilization and reconstitution steps.

Project description:1. Several cell-surface domains of sarcolemma and T-tubule from skeletal-muscle fibre were isolated and characterized. 2. A protocol of subcellular fractionation was set up that involved the sequential low- and high-speed homogenization of rat skeletal muscle followed by KCl washing, Ca2+ loading and sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. This protocol led to the separation of cell-surface membranes from membranes enriched in sarcoplasmic reticulum and intracellular GLUT4-containing vesicles. 3. Agglutination of cell-surface membranes using wheat-germ agglutinin allowed the isolation of three distinct cell-surface membrane domains: sarcolemmal fraction 1 (SM1), sarcolemmal fraction 2 (SM2) and a T-tubule fraction enriched in protein tt28 and the alpha 2-component of dihydropyridine receptor. 4. Fractions SM1 and SM2 represented distinct sarcolemmal subcompartments based on different compositions of biochemical markers: SM2 was characterized by high levels of beta 1-integrin and dystrophin, and SM1 was enriched in beta 1-integrin but lacked dystrophin. 5. The caveolae-associated molecule caveolin was very abundant in SM1, SM2 and T-tubules, suggesting the presence of caveolae or caveolin-rich domains in these cell-surface membrane domains. In contrast, clathrin heavy chain was abundant in SM1 and T-tubules, but only trace levels were detected in SM2. 6. Immunoadsorption of T-tubule vesicles with antibodies against protein tt28 and against GLUT4 revealed the presence of GLUT4 in T-tubules under basal conditions and it also allowed the identification of two distinct pools of T-tubules showing different contents of tt28 and dihydropyridine receptors. 7. Our data on distribution of clathrin and dystrophin reveal the existence of subcompartments in sarcolemma from muscle fibre, featuring selective mutually exclusive components. T-tubules contain caveolin and clathrin suggesting that they contain caveolin- and clathrin-rich domains. Furthermore, evidence for the heterogeneous distribution of membrane proteins in T-tubules is also presented.
